GMAT Club Timer Informer

Hi GMATClubber!

Thank you for using the timer!
We noticed you are actually not timing your practice. Click the START button first next time you use the timer.
There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:

As for improvement in Quant, focus on finding easier ways to solve problems.Spend 10-15 seconds to see if you could backsolve/substituting answers afteran equation has been formed. Follow Bunuel at the Quant forums and solveall the questions shared by him. Even if you are able to solve 8-10 questionsin less than a minute each, you will be able to use that time saved there forother questions.

Hi Sidharth,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:1) What study materials have you used so far?2) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?3) Did you take the FULL CAT each time (with the Essay and IR sections)?

Goals:4) What is your goal score?5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

I had a problem of a different kind. I was rushing things and had like 10 minutes for the last 2 questions. I am now timing every 8 questions and averaging as per that. Makes it much easier instead of tracking time for every Q.. You can try 10 Q to start with

I look forward to hear any expert insights on this / personal experience on how to overcome this hurdle .

If there is any other data required from my side as input so as to view the problem I am facing holistically , please let me know.

Looking forward to hear helpful insights Sidharth

I too faced the similar problem and and improving my time and stress management really helped me to achieve my 700+. Please check the links shared my pushpitkc , they are really useful. Another course that really helped me to to improve was empowergmat. They have some really good strategies. Do check in the trial version first. I always spent more time at the beginning and struggled in the end. In my last GMAT, I only concentrated to maintain a constant pace throughout the exam and finish the verbal section within time without struggle and that really helped me to ace the verbal section.
